[Giant ovarian cystoma in mature pregnancy].

Ovarian tumours occurring during pregnancy pose considerable problems in respect of diagnosis and treatment. Unexpected difficulties arose in the case of patient suffering from a giant ovarian cystoma which ruptured sub partu and was diagnosed only during an emergency Caesarean section. Ileus occurred on the sixth postoperative day. This had been caused by an operation cloth left in the abdomen following the Caesarean section. The patient was awarded damages of DM 5000,-.

[Increasing age in surgical interventions].

The percentage of octogenerians and older patients receiving surgical therapy has increased from 1.1% to 4.6% in the last 10 years in the department of gynecology and obstetrics of the AKH Celle. The indications for surgery can be subdivided into two categories in these very old patients: total or subtotal prolapse often accompanied by a large degree of individual suffering and carcinoma or at least suspected carcinoma. The postoperative complication rate amounted to 6.8% which is only insignificantly more than the general complication rate. An improvement of quality of life is the primary factor for the surgical indication.
